With this expansion there are 2 new stats: INT (Intelligence) and CHA (Charisma). For their starting
scores, INT uses either MAG, SKL, or LUK and CHA uses SKL, SPD, or LUK. The player chooses to
multiply one by 5/6 and the other by 3/4, both rounded down. INT and CHA can’t use the same stat as
their baseline. INT and CHA can be increased like every other stat, and with this expansion, there are also
2 new growth rates, for those using them to level up. These growth rates are 55% and 40% respectively.
Every time you level up, you gain a number of points equal to your starting INT + half of your current
LUK to put into abilities. The maximum number of points you can have in an ability is equal to your
level. If you put a point into an ability that is a “class ability”, that ability receives an additional +5. This
bonus is only received once, regardless of how many points are put in ability. Saving throws receive +5
automatically if they’re class abilities without points in them, as they are increased by level, not points.
INT = (MAG, SKL, or LUK) x 3/4 or 5/6 CHA = (SKL, SPD, or LUK) x3/4 or 5/6

Types of Ability Checks
Regular Ability Check: This is used most of the time. Whenever a unit wishes to do something,
usually when a battle is not being fought but depending on the action a GM may allow it to be
attempted, the player will roll their percentile dice and add the bonus from the appropriate skill
to the result. If the result is equal to or over the target number set by the GM, the attempt was
successful.
Opposed Ability Check: Certain ability checks require Opposed Ability Checks. In this case, the
target number is not set by the GM beforehand but is instead the total of the responding Ability
Check. For example, if someone (person A) was trying to lie to another (person B), the target
number for person A’s Bluff Ability Check would be person B’s Intuition Ability Check. If
person B rolled higher than person A did, they did not believe the lie.
Saving Throw Ability Check: In certain events, players may be required to perform a Saving
Throw Ability Check. This will usually occur when the players are in some sort of danger that
does not involve combat, or the players are unaware of a danger and are reacting to it.

Determining Target Numbers

To determine the target number to assign a certain ability check, one must decide on what the
success rate should be. As the Fire Emblem RPG is played using percentile dice, an ability check
with a target number of 50 should have a success rate of 50%, and an ability check with a target
number of 75 should have a success rate of 25% (100-target number).
However, since players have bonuses added to their rolls the success rates are actually a bit
higher. For lower-level parties the bonuses are rather small, but as levels become higher and
higher these bonuses increase with them. Therefore it is a good idea to look at what bonuses the
party has and work from there.
If, for example, a player has a bonus of +25 in Acrobatics and I’d like to give them an ability
check where their success rate is 60%, I would set the target number to 65, as 25 (the player’s
bonus) + 40 (100 – 60, the desired success rate) = 65 (the target number). Note that a player with
an Acrobatics bonus of +10 would have a 45% chance of success with this check, should
multiple people attempt this check. As opposed to combat, the GM does not need to tell players
the likelihood of success, merely hint at the difficulty if desired.
Target Number Formula:
(Player’s Bonus) + (100 - Desired Success Rate) = (Target Number)
